Political Science - I AM THE LAW!

Who: Eggman, students
What: Dr. Robotnik has clearly lost it.  And now his students have to suffer.
Where: Eggman's Classroom.  Where it goes after that...?
When: January 20
Warnings: Hot organic on robot violence.

When the political science students arrived that day, they were treated to a very unusual sight.  The classroom was decked out like a medieval castle court, complete with a throne at the head of the class.  And sitting in that throne was Eggman, dressed in regal robes and a crown that came from Burger King.  He held a scepter, and had a devious smirk on his face.

"WELCOME!" he declared, waving his hand dramatically.  "I suppose you're wondering what the DECOR is for!  Today's lesson will be about FEUDAL JUSTICE!"

"Centuries ago, before the birth of modern democracies, rulers tended to be kings and emperors.  Their authority came from RELIGIOUS EDICTS that claimed they were descendants of or chosen by God, most often due to their BLOODLINES.  Single families ruled entire nations absolutely, and any challenge to their authority was met with DEADLY FORCE.  This doesn't necessarily mean they were SUCCESSFUL rulers by any means.  In fact, many had no sense of leadership or military strategy, and only ruled due to their lineage.  In fact, it was the ineptitude of one King John that resulted in a document called the MAGNA CARTA, the document that has become the foundation of modern governments all over the world."

"Back in those days, justice was SWIFT and ABSOLUTE.  If you were suspected of a crime, sentences were carried out before an investigation took place, if one even took place at all!  Lives ended at the whim of the ruler!  And today I want to make sure you all leave with an APPRECIATION of the system you have!  If you ever consider punishments meted out to you UNFAIR, then I want you to consider what COULD be happening to you!"

With that, he got to his feet.  "NOW!  I FIND YOU ALL GUILTY OF THE CRIME OF USING THE WRONG PENS ON YOUR LAST TESTS!  THE PUNISHMENT IS DEATH!!"  With that, he snapped his fingers.

From out of the doors emerges a small army of Egg Pawns.  They were wearing black hoods and wielding axes.  Eggman gave a dark grin.  "I'll give you all a ten second head start.  Last until the end of the period, and you get an A.  Ten... Nine..."
